the defense department is not saying this officially but based on our review of high profile casualties in both the wars in iraq and afghanistan, we think that command sergeant major xwrif griffin may be among the most senior u.s. service members killed in either war, period. major thomas kennedy and air force major walter gray were also killed in that same attack along with a state department official. of that attack as i said happened wednesday in evident eastern afghanistan. and then the next day on thursday, three marines were killed in southern afghanistan. and the latest so-called green on blue attack which is what the military calls attacks by people we thought were supposed to be allies. the three marines were reportedly shot and killed after they were invited to a meeting to discuss security. another u.s. service member was injured in that same incident. the gunman in that case escaped. that all happened after another green on blue attack earlier this week, this one in eastern afghanistan in which a u.s. soldier was killed and two others were wounded again by a gunman described

>> i really think the defense made the right call there. the last thing you want to do is end your case with a scathing cross-examination. and with john edwards, no matter what you think of him, he's told a lot of lies, some of which he told on public media, they could impeach him on prior statements. i don't think the defense want to end on that note or on cate edwards or who knows what rielle hunter would have said? they made a decision to end their case on a matter they could control, which was a question of whether the law covered the activities that edwards was charged with. >> and, saul, john edwards is a well-trained politician, could do well probably on the stand dealing with tough questions. but was it smart? as he lied too much? almost that his smoothness was hurt him? >> it's a totally right call. this is an appalling prosecution. they're prosecuting something that isn't even a regulation violation much less a criminal violation. even if he's convicted, the universal feeling is that it will be reversed on appeal, as it should be.

how do you retract or retreat from the defense cuts that are part of that bargain that was agreed to? >> well, i think what you try to do is you figure out how to redistribute those cuts. there are many of us who believe, and frankly, that view is echoed by defense secretary leon pa thnettpanetta, that cute as deep as proposed by the sequester would be incredibly dangerous and harmful to our national security interests. so what is being proposed by senator mccain and others is a one-year freeze on federal pay and some attrition in the federal employee workforce, that would substitute for the amount of cuts that would take place in 2013. so the military, which is already going to be cut back significantly by the round of cuts that was put in place last summer, would at least have that year in order to plan for what's ahead, and basically, prevent what would be some very deep and dangerous cuts from occurring to the military budget. and i think that's a fair way of doing it. it's a pay for, it's offset, it looks for the reductions in spending in other areas. and that's what we ought to
